egypt's muslim nor make his vote through a new constitution resembling hosni mubarak's rule strengthening islamic norms reigniting protests among those who believe the revolution has been betrayed. the political disconnect in germany parliament forty four billion and more units in aid from greece but taxpayers you move a squandered fortune. israel on the us versus the world as the to dismiss palestine success at the un than two thirds of countries gave the go ahead to its statehood bid. do you think that something it's just cable kates could ever happen again the clinics here because of the time next year hopefully earlier than later does the world's top whistleblower have up his sleeve during the sound talks

exclusively to r.t. . for costing live from moscow this is r.t. i'm kerry johnston now egypt dominated constitutional assembly has passed a new draft constitution the document is based on sharia law and has triggered fresh protests across the country opposition activists say it's a betrayal of the revolutions ideals of journalists well true has the details now from cairo. the problem really stems from the constituent assembly itself many of the liberal leftists and church representatives actually walked up to the constituent assembly to what they said was bullying from the islamist factions that dominated the constitution rights embody the key issues is the sharia law which many say the articles about sharia law leave open to interpretation to a very ultra orthodox interpretation and in addition that rights groups are saying

that some articles are really impinging on human rights for example the practice of military trials of civilians which is condemned on the international law is actually included in the constitution which has been a point of contention for revolutionaries since january two thousand and eleven this document will go to president morsi today and we expect to see it go to referee referendum popular referendum in the next few weeks the day opposition forces that point four million man marches across egypt and also they are continuing their sit in into her we really will see probably more escalating violence we've seen on the streets recently because of this what they called a power grab by president morsi was referring to a very controversial constitution decoration we awarded himself sweeping powers rival protest groups pro and anti more and more see what is met on you tube streets really is that she was out in a fair amount of violence the last week including actually least one that really

people are gearing up for more protests specially as we now have this draft constitution and people rightly god's image its image. while true is in the thick of events in cairo who's tweeting the very latest developments there apparently unconfirmed reports that protesters have tried to present you know you kind of. on the balance of twitter feed to stay up to date. from the egyptian the current party says that if the new constitution gets through referendum it would even further cement the islamists grip on power. if it gets a popular vote that means it's more or less the constitution that would have filled there's another critical mass that would allow for an amendment or there's no mechanism to propose an amendment to the constitution after it passes through. which means there has to be enough change within parliament and the hands of the

non islamic parties so that they can propose such a change which seems to be a questionable with how the parliament of the previous parliament was consequent construed forty three percent of the muslim brotherhood and twenty seven percent of the salafist so even if a significant changes and you have a fifty fifty percent parliament. that still seems to be questionable that you would you'd have such a change. or the growing unrest in egypt as well as protests in libya and tunisia many analysts are now questioning just how much change the arab spring has brought to these countries is going to chicken found that there are fears that instead of a better and brighter future these nations may actually be sliding towards a darker future. less than two years after the egyptian people ousted the all powerful hosni mubarak mohamed morsi granted himself even more power than his predecessor head to the special the kray president morsi make sure that no court

can challenge is decisions. that the president's power grab brought hundreds of thousands of egyptians onto the street with a shared sense that their aspirations were being betrayed. unfortunately replace the corrupt regime of mubarak with a regime that is more strict and violent the draft version of egypt's new constitution inserts new islamic references into the country's system of government and keeps in place an article defining the principles of korea as the main source of legislation when they're not in power there are moderates. in the united states and washington the various islamic organizations that dominate in the us but when they come into power they put a lot of grip on power it is socially establish an islamic dictatorship the sense of betrayal and disappointment has not left so tunisia the first country to witness an arab spring uprising unemployment there skyrocketed in the wake of the

revolution and is now at eighteen percent. our demands are the same as those that have been made during the revolution we want jobs development in the region and the equitable sharing of wealth we also demand the dismissal of the governor who has done nothing for this region but it's comprised the development here as the arab spring unfolded less than two years ago the obama administration jumped on the bandwagon of the revolutions hoping to forge better alliances with the new leaders . in libya the u.s. prompted the change with airstrikes and arms supplies were seen policymakers here in washington trying very hard to present the arab spring as a success story up until september washington had the revolution in libya check as a foreign policy victory for president obama after all the u.s. provided most of the firepower which led to the capture and the. killing of moammar gadhafi only after the tragic attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi and the murder of the american ambassador there did levy a comeback into a spotlight and the chaos that we see there now flies in the face of that success

story narrative protests frequently disrupt operations at the main oil refinery in western libya while the new government in libya has little or no control over the numerous militia groups the civil war has left the country shredded to pieces with radical islam is taking advantage of the chaos so many in the post-revolutionary north african countries despair and violence have replaced the hopes of the arab spring in washington i'm going to check out. well for more on the unrest in egypt and its background as well as the why did developments in the arab spring even had dot com. the world's top whistleblower during the sun has dismissed speculation that his health is deteriorating instead he revealed to r.t. that there will be a new sensation explosion next year which he promises will send shock waves around the world a correspondent on smith spoke to the wiki leaks supremes. as any journalist

working in london now is i'm pretty familiar with standing outside the ecuadorian embassy waiting for julian assange is to come out and talk from the balcony just to my right here but this evening i've been inside an embassy to talk to today and i saw he's recently written a book a book called cypherpunks freedom and the future of the internet and that's what he really wants to talk about at the moment and we did talk about that we talked about how he sees this increase in state surveillance is hugely damaging for the entire fabric of society how companies and governments can minute the internet for data that is placed there willingly but unwittingly boy citizens all over the world let's just listen into a little bit of what he said about that we all think of. some kind of tonic realm where we can throw ideas and communications with writers and books and exist somewhere out there actually very exist. who are physically controls this

controls the realm of our ideas and communications and whoever is able to sit on those communications channels can intercept the entire nation's. power julian assange has been cooped up in the embassy behind me for more than five months now and you may have heard reports in the media in the last couple of days that he's developed a long condition but in fact his people are saying that there is no young condition although he does have quite a pervasive cough actually looks pretty pale quite thin but he seems to be in high spirits but the possibility the specter of a serious illness has raised questions about what the government of this country would do if he was ill with their loud medical help to go into the embassy would if he had to get out to go to hospital would they use that as an excuse to arrest him he at this current moment doesn't want to talk about his personal situation he's much more interested in talking about the book that he's just read. off the back of a program that he made for me but nevertheless there are concerns about his general

health when i asked him whether there could ever be a leak as significant as cable gates of which we've of course just seen the two year anniversary he said that we should watch this space do you think that something as large as cable kate could ever happen again i love it would have a similar impact. complaining. but what's the time next year when you go into it but. we should watch out for that you can see my whole interview with judy in ourselves later on in the program. laura smith there and full interview with you in the song she's on there fifteen thirty g.m.t. more news still to come for you ahead after the break.

a lovely quiet morning a family gently sleeps in district heights maryland when fifty armed f.b.i. agents storm the house and guns drawn despite the family pleading that they were unarmed the law enforcement agents opened fire on a weaponless teenager my asian huli thankfully sholay suffered minor flesh wounds but the key issue is that it remains unknown as to why the house was stormed so here in america for no reason guys in black uniforms storm someone's house a loaded some rounds and left with no justification or explanation yes the family still doesn't know why this happened the f.b.i. is from aiding silent you know i understand that there are some very bad individuals out there doing some very bad stuff at home but if you don't even really know whose house or storming or why your storming it then maybe you should lay off the siege for a while you know what take a few minutes to think it over have a cup of coffee and maybe even do a little google search about the fourth amendment but it's just my opinion.

and. the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets and canada. change corporations rule. please speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about six of the p.r.p. interviews intriguing story are you. trying.

to find out more visit. there's been a collective sigh of relief. german or makers possibly massive new aid package for the indebted nation aside from releasing greeks more cash and slashes interest rates payments and even pushes back austerity deadlines but as our two piece all of the now reports those footing the bill that happy. germany will be giving more financial aid towards greece now we saw m.p.'s voting with four hundred seventy three saying yes to this a package one hundred saying no and eleven abstentions now what this does mean no and it's been talked about throughout the week is in next year alone it could cost germany over seven hundred million euros but we are seeing the politicians at least giving their support financial support towards greece however that support isn't

being particularly backed up by some of the electorate here people on the streets of germany suggesting that perhaps greece should be left to its own devices. that is enough because we won't see this money ever again. at some point it should be stopped it's high time they were capable of helping themselves we're ok for now but someday we could also go to broke their silence spec north like not out to vote this is all you should be on include we have already given at least so much more on the issues started already a lot going on under the stars. and there's nothing more is mine and i don't think that well they were people speaking just outside of the reichstag but that seems to be reflected across the country a recent poll taken by a german television station says that forty six percent of germans want to see greece left to default left up to its own devices however the politicians in here in germany have voted through this next round of financial aid but it wasn't smooth

sailing we saw a very confident looking angle a merkel posting her vote but that belies some rumblings of revolt within her own party and her own coalition the worst people saying that no no we are just going to rubber stamp anything to put before us you've got to prove this is in the best interests of germany of course all of this coming around as we enter what will be the campaigning season ahead of a general election here in germany next year so it does seem that the german politicians at least are on the side. and trying to give more financial aid to greece how that is that an increasing amount of the electorate you seem to be suggesting they should be cut loose but while you're a crash course in this latest great deal of breakthrough skeptics i'm convinced citing past failures and or has a pretty head of a think tank open you up but lynn says it's just another sticking plaster rather than a solution the latter is expected from this package and i'm convinced that even members

of the well being they won't have to vote again it's really and and i think also if you look at the overwhelming support that they are. that has. been made based on reelection considerations in play here i think that if you look at the numbers and what is expected from this packets and reducing debt to g.d.p. ratio in greece to one hundred twenty four per cent by twenty twenty. and i believe unfortunately that this is just another pleasure and a long term solution to greece's problems. online abuse in detention for the american soldier accused of revealing the military's crimes. bradley manning speaks for the first time about the brutal mistreatment he says he's been subjected to in prison. and is there life on the solar system smallest planet that's the scientists

claim they've discovered water shaded craters from the rest of it sunspots staton more r.t. dot com. unfortunate and counterproductive that's how washington describes the u.n. general assembly is historic vote despite more than two thirds of the world saying yes to palestine's bid for statehood but israel's prime minister called the move meaningless and warned the palestinian people their drive would bring no change their lives for marty's porcelaine time. these ladies certainly are downplaying the significance of this vote although we have seen them with juice the kind of rhetoric that they've been acting over the past few weeks and months so they are no longer issuing the same kinds of threats that they were before presumably because

they understand that this will only further isolate them in the international community the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has repeatedly said that this vote does not change the reality on the ground the israeli position is that it is a unilateral step by the palestinians they accuse the resolution of being one sided both the united states and israel saying that it's not going to change the reality on the ground in this despite the fact that we're hearing in some quarters of the international community and certainly from palestinians themselves that it is a significant step at the same time there is a concern of course within this well that the palestinians will now use the new state has to go for example to the international criminal court in the hague where they can accuse israel of alleged crimes and of course these kind of threats in the past has prevented some israeli lawmakers as well as military leaders from traveling abroad because they're all concerned that there could be a wasted over such issues the united states through its unflinching support for

israel has alienated a lot of its old time allies in the united nations susan rice the american ambassador to the united nations after slamming the vote again reiterated the american position that it will not change anything on the ground today grand pronouncements. and the palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed today's vote should not be misconstrued by any as constituting eligibility for u.n. membership it does not this resolution does not establish that palestine is a state and yet talking to the average israeli on the street largely the response here is muted most israelis i've been talking to are actually biologic norine of this fundamental and historic occasion which is a far cry from the kind of reaction we witnessing on the streets in palestine. where european countries are among the most undecided in their attitude towards the

palestinian drive for greater independence but there isn't evident shift in the continent's overall attitude to the bid compared to last year and palestinians who are seeking membership in the un's cultural agency unesco five countries switched from state to yes including switzerland and portugal germany and evelyn's which voted no last year this time decided to abstain and sweden approve the latest resolution despite rejecting the you know escapade you know new european country to say no this time was a czech republic. well this is this this increase recognition this increase in status in the united nations is a manifestation of increased international solidarity with the palestinian situation and this will actually bring hopefully a manifest improvement for the palestinians in respect of their access to international law and the ability to have the rule of law applied to their relationship with the state of israel so here in gaza where we just witnessed an

israeli military operation exacted on the gaza strip in which fifty nine children were killed seventeen babies were killed palestinians are hoping that this increase in legal status will deter. a. like that in which palestinians believe that promise. the war crimes committed against the population here in gaza in the west bank they have a situation not with such sort of military violence but they have on the ground direct military occupation they have according to palestinians in palestinian terminology an illegal colonise ation process with illegal settlements being built what the hope is in both bits of palestine that is left there will be some practical improvement albeit a small one for them and for their lives. ramsey baroud editor palestine chronicle dot com says israelis gave preston is no room for maneuver forcing them to turn to the united nations. well netanyahu comes and says the only way of peace is direct

negotiations from the point of view of someone who doesn't really understand what's going on it sounds reasonable enough it sounds logical enough but the problem is israel has done everything in its capacity and its power to undermine any chances and any prospects for that for the so-called peace process to achieve anything since palestinians and israelis have been talking twenty years ago until today look at the reality on the ground the settlements have doubled the number of settlers have should build the number of wars that have been launched launched against palestinians have been so many of them thousands of palestinians have lost their lives what israel have done to give the palestinians any sense of hope that in fact sitting face to face and a negotiating is going to achieve anything as long as the israeli army is roaming palestinian streets arresting people killing people no this is not going to work.

thousands of kilometers of unspoilt countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunters there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many animals are killed out of the allotted times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive the heart of just us forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups who've been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild

for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up and this is what i was hoping for was coming to a place called wolf island a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as foster parents for the next generation will come here using the older walls as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs whose parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolfs reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication will mean the oil and remains a place where visitors can truly understand of the wilds. good
